Episode 2: Working While Black: Navigating Your Career In A White World of Work

Nathaniel “Nat” Alston has a successful track record of success by handling subtle but offensive comments, actions, and stereotypes that keep us from achieving executive levels. Our conversation is filled with practical suggestions for black Americans to develop mental awareness, a psychological game plan, and an increased level of business savvy in order to negotiate the minefield of the white work world. Listen to get at least 4 things you can do to do to stay on your career track. Included are commonsense scenarios and real-life solutions that will help every marginalized person handle gutless bosses, overbearing and hateful colleagues, or being the only minority or woman in an all-white workplace.
